The manga series has spawned a franchise that includes multiple spin-off manga and anime series, a trading card game, and numerous video games. Two anime adaptations were produced one by Toei Animation, which aired from April 4, 1998, to Octoand another produced by NAS and animated by Studio Gallop titled Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which aired between April 2000 and September 2004. Yugi awakens a gambling alter-ego within his body that solves his conflicts using various games. The plot follows the story of a boy named Yugi Mutou, who solves the ancient Millennium Puzzle. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine between September 30, 1996, and March 8, 2004. "King of Games") is a manga series about gaming written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi. But even those are sometimes overshadowed by a new kind of duel that has a gimmick that literally had no impact at all.Yu-Gi-Oh! (遊☆戯☆王 Yū-Gi-Ō!, lit. The animations are on point, duels never felt so fluent and honestly were one of the biggest plus points of the movie. The movie drags a bit in parts of the first to second act, but the rest is really dynamic and never once I felt bored. It's not deep, there are plot holes, characters know things they shouldn't, I felt no connection to the newly introduced characters and once you understand what drives the main villain, you get annoyed how complicated he explains his reasons. But honestly, they tried to let the plot sound way more complicated than it actually is. And of course the plot rides a lot on nostalgia and fan service, bringing back most of the original cast and connecting directly to some side characters of the original show, which is, in my opinion, not a bad thing. It's also very friendly towards people that didn't bother with the spin-offs, leaving out any gimmicks that came out after 2004 (Synchro, XYZ and so on). They bothered to get all the original voice actors (I watched the Japanese Version with English subtitles) and pretty much nailed the atmosphere of the show (ignoring the new art style). At least they tried to somewhat tie into the original series which makes it a lot more bearable than for example Pyramid of Light.
Yeah, don't read too much into the story.
